Robert Olding

Growing up in Southwestern Idaho, I had a great love for all things creative and was generally thought of as an all around weird kid. My access to the arts and culture were limited mostly to a TV, my dad’s audio cassette deck, and an upright piano. I managed to keep busy by enlisting my five brothers and sisters to star in my various attempts at film making. My version of Grease is legendary amongst a handful of people living in Idaho.

I pursued music as a vocation and enjoyed many years playing drums with various local bands, thinking I was destined to be a rock star. After taking a photography class as an elective in college, I traded in my drumsticks for a camera and graduated from ArtCenter College of Design.

I've lived and worked in some of the coolest cities in the US - New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago. I'm currently settled in the Minneapolis area, where I spend my free time watching my youngest daughter grow up.
